Life Saving Apparatus of Reindeer Hair.
A Norwegian engineer, Herr W c, Mollcr,
of Drammen, Norway, having had his atten
tion drawn to the extreme buoyancy of REIN
deer hair, has succeeded in constructing
various articles Of this material for life saw
ing at sea, with which some interesting ex-
periments were recently made The first life
saving object tried was one which can be
used on board ship as a chair, bedstead or
couch, but which in case Of need may be con
verted into small boat. This apparatus
was found capable Of supporting three full
grown men in the water although only in
tended to bear two. Another object tried
was a suit made entirely of reindeer hair,
and covering the entire body except the face,
and in which man foated on the water
without having to make the slightest move
| ment 1t was found perfectly impossible to
| dive in the dress The third object tried was
| dooYmat made of reindeer hair, and this
| supported q man easily, although he was
| dressed in full outdoor clothing. On com
| pairing life belts made Of reindeer hair with
| similar ones of cork, it was found that the
| former were much lighter than the latter, a
| very important advantage to an exhausted
| drowning person when he has to put it on IL
| the water Herr Moller's assertion that rein
deer hair is capable of supporting weight
| ten times its own was fully borne ont by
these experiments 1t should be pointed out
that jack, Is, belts, etc, made OF reindeer hail
| are soft and pliahle AMI that they impart {

ODDS AND ENDS.

A correspondent Of the Austin Record
who took" Ia the prohibition pow-wow
at Waco, says the majority Of the men,
hers were preachers, white and colored.
The public were aware that the preach
which seems destined to side-traok the
religion and fanaticism as Siamese
Twins. The majority OF the people are
nom professors Of religion and art utter
" opposed to the rule OF priests and
preachers. The Catholics will scarcely
join the prohibition procession.
Coercion begets resistance and sug-
gests evasion. Men naturally resent all
interference with their personal liberty,
the God-given right of themselves de-
Gliding what food they will eat, what
clothes they will wear, and what bever-
ages they will drink. Coercion never
accomplshes Its objects. Prohibition
has been failure in Maine, Kansas, etc.
HE that hath pity upon the poor,
lendeih to the Lord, and that which he
had given he will repay him again" is
one OF Solomon's proverbs. The security
is not regarded as being gllt-edged by
the men OF this generation. The rich
consider mortgages on land and fifteen
per cent. interest more safe than lending
to God by helping the poor In their hour
OF need. Ifthpy should assist the poor.
they might scramble upon their feet and
make money, ard then the prediction.
"the poor We shall have among you al
ways," would be falsified. Keep the
poor, is practically the rule followed.

But He Gives His Views on Critics Just

Editor SAN ANTONIO LIoHT:
SAN ANTONIO, March 20, 1887,
Among many others l am one to praise
not only the critic for the courage OF
Justly and correctly critioising the paint
ing on exhibition at Bells, but also the
LI0HT for publishing the criticism.
sho wing that we have at least one paper
in the city independent enough to up
hold the truth. The sickening praise
given to the picture by both the Express
and the Times Ia disgusting TO any dis
eliminating judge OF q work Of art. We
doubt II those papers would have given
their praise so lsvishly had the painting
come from the brush OF some unknown
person OF obscure psrentage and social
standing. 1 trust that the editor OF the
LIGHT W II influence the critic to give us
u thorough description OF the coming
art exhibition, for then we may feel sure
that the public will learn the true value
Of each picture and artists receive their
just dues.
For my part. at least, do not care to
sas the criticisms Of the Express or
Times II those of the other day were
their best samples. The critic, how
ever, we can assure that. while he may
have stirred up hornets nest In some
quarters, he can feel satisfied that among
the connoisseu Of art he receives due
n probation.
The following reminds me strongly Of
the Expire and Times:
An Italian painter had finished the
portrait Of the Duke Of PiombinO The
30 called elite Of the place heard of 1t
and rushed TO the artists house to view
lt.
The maestro had left in the morning.
but the foreign apprentice to whom
they made their wish as clear "a posi-
ole, showed them the painting, and they
all stood with establishment. "Oh, how
BEAUTIFUL. how clear and true the feat
ur-s; what an artist ~
A few days later the artist returned
from Rome wher- he had exhibited the
picture to the HonOratives, and upon
announcing to his fellow citizens that
they might now see II. was highly
sstOunded, that no one came. bur learned
that everyone had seen the piotu heard
